Was thinking of buying a H2D but friends are warning me away from Bambu?
They also keep producing spare parts. No idea if that will continue, but as a comparison, my Saturn 3 Ultra, which I bought last year, has a dead screen and Elegoo has stopped manufacturing them. I can find one third party or buy off of aliexpress, but you're talking about like $130 for something th

New to Resin - which saturn?
Generally speaking the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k is the best option for most people. I investigated and wrote the original post explaining the 3-bit grayscale deficiency and it is still present. I also bought a S4U 16k and subsequently worked out a dithering method with UVTools to restore a significant por

Best resin printer for minis and dummies
Believe me not much exciting has happened in the last 3 years in resin printing, get yourself an old new stock reliable printer with tons of community support and replacement parts, like a elegoo Saturn 3 or smaller mars 3, any cubic m5 or creality halot mage. No rocking vats or anything like that.

Resin printing "arms race" over?
Same as before. Expect 12 months between cycles. This year was odd, printers got released on a shorter cycle. The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K was probably supposed to be the Saturn 5, but Elegoo released it early (only 7-8 months after the Saturn 4/4 Ultra). Probably because Uniformation was releasing the 16

Looking to replace my current printers. Need input from professionals
Elegoo Mars 3 Pro, Saturn 3 and Saturn 4 Ultra owner, been running them for the past 4 years +. (Starting slowly with the Mars and building up to the later ones. ) I use Chitubox Pro for slicing. Only had an issue once with a power switch pcb which Elegoo was happy to provide after verifying it was

Most reliable printer
TL;DR: It’s not the brand, they all suck, although Elegoo has remained popular for a reason. I’m up to having owned 7 resin printers. 4 of those are Elegoo, and I’ve owned a Phrozen and currently own an Anycubic (along with 2 Saturns). I’m quite critical of the resin printer market, but Elegoo has a

Best guess? Overcrowded plate? Plus a bonus question at the end.
This printer is 4 months old and Elegoo only give a 3 month warranty on screens. Luckily I'm in the UK so my consumer rights supersede their warranty. If it breaks under 6 months it's deemed to have not been of sufficient quality and therefore It's refund or repair. This printer got packed up and it

Help to purchase my first resin printer for 1:6 scale figures Phrozen mighty 12K
build volume is enough for most 1/6 scale figures, though some parts might be a bit too big if not cut into manageable parts. For example, long capes or detailed diorama bases can get a little big, but honestly these are often parts perfect for FDM. just buy models that are already split up and prop

Need help buying a printer
All the problems you hear about a specific printer online are warranted but people who don't have problems don't come to the Internet to complain also, searching for problems with a piece of tech or anything for that matter everybody should do, so you are equipped with the knowledge of knowing that
